That's a male, and what you're looking at are male accessory organs.

I went and took a second look at the molt to be sure. I don’t really have a good place to sex molts and thought I saw a flap. I think it was because I couldn’t pull the molt as tight as I needed to. Anyway, after I took a look again and found some reference pictures. Confirmed male. Looks like I’ll be looking for a breeding loan.

Thank you @Ungoliant, for some reason when I uploaded more than one photo it made each one its own post.

That's how it works. If you have additional images, you can link them by clicking Copy the code in "Copy URL BB code with thumbnail" in the second image and pasting that code as a comment on the first image.

Ah 10/4, I’ll do that next time.
